Another 'stranger danger' alert has been issued by a headteacher after a pupil was approached this morning.

Archway School headteacher Colin Belford said a girl at the Stroud secondary was offered a lift by a woman this morning - she refused and police were called.

"Please remind children to be aware of stranger danger on their way to and from school, particularly if they are on their own," said Mr Belford in a letter.

"This morning a female student was approached by a woman whilst on her way to school and offered a lift, which the student sensibly refused. The incident has been reported to the police.

"We will be reminding students of our advice regarding stranger danger in tutor time tomorrow, and police advice remains that anyone being the victim of any inappropriate behaviour should report the matter to them."
